Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The item received is not the item described or pictured. It appears that either the manufacturer dropped their standards altogether or else this is a cheap knockoff. First of all, it is brushed aluminum rather than polished steel. Secondly, it is indexed but not with painted numbers as pictured. Thirdly, the product descriptions includes this caveat: " IMPORTANT: Avoid getting counterfeit items. Genuine SE products come with our SE logo on the packaging. SE is a registered trademark protected by US Trademark Law." The item I received does not have the logo on the package. Fourthly, the ring sizes appear to be off by a half-size in the lower range. Fifthly, the milling is grossly inconsistent with the steps having very obviously different increases in height. There is no way this is worth the price being charged. However, it is the only stepped mandrel I can find that has both full- and half-sizes on the same rod. I sent the first one back but the one I received today is worse than the first. I'll send this one back, also, and will continue to send them back until I get one that is fairly close to being decently made. Very frustrating.
